I think that the new logout dialog (I.E the one with the description) 1. Is very professional (especially the way it appears when the power button is pressed) 2. Very clearly describes what each option does, which is important for new users and the kind of 'average joe' users Ubuntu wishes to attract and keep. 3. Doesn't add any more clicks than it took to shut down with the old dialog in order to shutdown And if I were to improve it I would change the following - which make life quicker and easier for regular/power users. 1. When the power button is pushed _twice_ the computer shuts down 2. On start-up (of the dialog) one icon should be selected so that pushing Enter does that action. This should be either: always 'Shut Down', or the option the use rlast used 3. (going too far and overcomplicating things) Icons should be drag/dropable on to the desktop/panel so that you can logout/shutdown/hibernate etc without using that dialog. All I would change is the name in the system menu - and make it 'Leave the Computer' -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
